Which Roman poet retold the Pandora myth in his poem Works and Days?

No Roman poet retold Pandora’s myth in Works and Days; Hesiod was Greek.

Works and Days is an archaic Greek poem attributed to Hesiod, not a Roman work. It contains the earliest surviving literary account of Pandora’s creation and the container that brings hardship to humanity. The poem combines myth with advice about farming, justice, labor, and proper conduct.

Ovid, Virgil, and Horace were Roman poets, but none wrote Works and Days. Ovid did retell many Greek myths in Latin, especially in the Metamorphoses, yet the Pandora passage most often cited as the foundational account comes from Hesiod.

The wording of this question highlights a common mix-up between Greek and Roman classical literature. Hesiod lived centuries before the height of Roman literary culture. His poems are among the major surviving sources for early Greek mythology, while Roman authors later adapted many Greek stories for Latin audiences.
